"Okay, Hasegawa. How should I put it? Although you look a little ordinary."
"Hiratsuka-sensei, can we not talk about appearance?" Although he didn't care about this, almost everyone said this, Hasegawa Kenichi still felt a little helpless.
"Well, okay, okay. Young people nowadays don't want to listen to the truth. After all, good medicine tastes bitter, I understand." Hiratsuka Shizuka shook her head, lamenting that good medicine tastes bitter, but young people nowadays don't want to take it: "Okay, no more jokes. Well, you have excellent academic performance, and then, you joined the kendo club in the club, which is not bad. Your personality is relatively calm, but you seem to have too little communication with your peers. Except for Tomoya Aki, you don't have any other friends in the class, right? Is it true that you only have Tomoya Aki as a friend in the whole school? Don't you think you are a little too lonely?"
Hiratsuka Shizuka said this, looking at Hasegawa Kenichi seriously.
Hasegawa Kenichi scratched his head after hearing what Hiratsuka Shizuka said. Hiratsuka Shizuka was right, but there was really a generation gap between him and these high school students. When he was with them, he always felt a little out of tune. It would be uncomfortable to really get involved with those high school students.
"I know that as a genius, there will always be a certain gap between you and your peers. People like you think differently from normal people. But this is how society works. If you want to survive well, you have to contact people or things outside. This is essential. If you don't try to contact other people, then when you really enter society in the future, you will find that you are so out of tune with the entire society. After all, 99.9% of the components of society are ordinary people." Hiratsuka Shizuka felt that Hasegawa Kenichi was a relatively stable person, so at this time, she couldn't help but say something that adults would experience.
"Thank you, Hiratsuka-sensei. I know what you said is right. But, how should I put it." Hasegawa Kenichi organized his words: "In fact, if I do what you said, with my ability, I can indeed survive well in society, and even have a good future, but I always feel that such a life will be very tiring. And I am sure that I can live a fulfilling life even if I rely only on myself. So I don't want to make any changes."
"You are really confident. But geniuses seem to be like this, but - forget it. People like you probably won't turn back until they hit their heads against the wall. Anyway, as a teacher, I have said everything I should say, think about it yourself." Hiratsuka Shizuka regarded Hasegawa Kenichi's attitude as confidence, even arrogance. After all, when Hasegawa Kenichi took the exam, he was able to get full marks in all subjects. If this is not a genius, then what is it? And geniuses are often very confident and even arrogant. Such people, if they are not hit, probably won't change.
"Thank you. But Hiratsuka-sensei, although I don't communicate with people of my age, it doesn't mean that I don't know how to communicate. I just feel that there is a generation gap between me and them. Compared with them, I actually prefer to communicate with adults. After all, adults tend to become mature and will not make decisions on impulse when doing things or other things. At the same time, adults will also begin to take responsibility for their own lives, so their every move will become cautious. It's not like high school students, who may think that just one sentence is not good, and then start to make trouble for you. It's too childish." Hasegawa Kenichi said rationally.
"Hmm?" Shizuka Hiratsuka looked at Kenichi Hasegawa in surprise: "Your analysis is correct. High school students are almost like this. After all, young people are very energetic. But, Hasegawa, you feel too old. If you didn't look only ten years old, I would have suspected that you were a man in his thirties or forties."
"Well, you found out, Hiratsuka-sensei. Although my body is only sixteen years old, my soul is really a man in his forties." Kenichi Hasegawa said with a chuckle.
Shizuka Hiratsuka couldn't help rolling his eyes: "You guys, you're still pretending to be mature in front of me. Forget it. It's good that you know it in your heart. After all, you are a genius. It's different from ordinary people like us. As long as you don't regret it."
...
"Hasegawa, can I bother you for a moment? I don't understand this question. Can you explain it to me?"
A pretty girl looked at Kenichi Hasegawa with an expectant expression on her face.
"Well, of course. Are you asking about this question?"
"Yes, that's it."
"This question is actually very simple. Look here... Do you understand now?"
"Is that so? Hasegawa-san is really amazing." The girl looked at Hasegawa Kenichi with admiration.
"No, it's just a very simple question after all. In fact, if you are more serious, you can also solve it." Hasegawa Kenichi said politely.
"No, I have been thinking about it for a long time, and I have no clue at all. Now I understand after hearing what Hasegawa-san said. Hasegawa-san is really amazing."
"Not bad."
"Well, as a reward for Hasegawa-san helping me solve the problem, I will buy you a cup of coffee on the weekend."
"Sorry, I have something to do on the weekend and I don't have time. I'm really sorry."
"Huh? Is that so?"
"I'm sorry."
After all, it's school, so grades are also a very important part for students. In the eyes of girls, excellent academic performance is undoubtedly a plus. Even though Hasegawa Kenichi looks ordinary. But after he got the first place in the whole grade, many girls still approached Hasegawa Kenichi.
Of course, most of the ways to approach him were to ask Hasegawa Kenichi to solve problems. Some invited Hasegawa Kenichi after solving the problems, but they were all rejected by Hasegawa Kenichi.
Hasegawa Kenichi, although he looks ordinary, was approached by many girls because of his good academic performance. When other boys in the class saw this situation, they couldn't help but feel sour. They said all kinds of things, but they were not so confident when they said those things. After all, when a poor student faces a good student, he will be at a disadvantage psychologically and feel inferior.
